WHEN YOU CHANGE YOU

(Jer. 26:13; Acts 3:19-20)

MEMORY VERSE: "But if you stop your sinning and begin to obey the Lord your God, he will cancel this disaster that he has announced against you." (Jeremiah 26:13 - KJV)

People who are agents of transformation to their immediate environment and their generation at large begins so with themselves, and it is a deliberate thing. Every transformation or change starts from within.

When a man changes, either to become better or worse than who he was, everything around him reacts to the change. People tend to draw close or withdraw from a man because of the character he has developed overtime which becomes his attitude. God also deals with us based on our inward motives because that is actually the basis for our actions.

However, when we are faced with some challenges, It's easier to look outward than inward. Whether it be a solution to a problem or the cause of a problem, Just like Adam blamed the wife and the wife blamed the serpent, the trend has always continued even in this present times. We tend to blame or point an accusing finger at someone rather than seeking to know where we got it wrong, and how to obtain solution from the right source.

For any change to take place in your life, you need to come to a point of discontentment with your old ways. God has never rejected a man that comes to him with a sincere heart; a person who indeed desires to turn from his ways. He is always true to his word. (Isaiha 1:18; 55:11) I don't know the kind of change you desire in your life. All you need do is to "turn". Stop looking elsewhere, look to God who is able bring the best out of you. He will give you times of refreshing. You will become like a city set on a hill whose light cannot be hid, and people will come to the brightness of your rising. Do not delay anymore, come to Jesus - The unchangeable changer, and He will do a new thing in your life.

PRAYER: Father, I repent of my old ways and come you for a transformation. Change me so I bring about a positive change to my generation in Jesus' name. Amen.

Reference scriptures: Gen 3:12-13; Psalm 51:17; Matt 5:14
